This is one of those gemstones that most people have never heard of, and while the paraiba tourmaline stone was recently discovered (circa 1980's), they have become one of the most prized and cherished gemstones available.

The paraiba tourmaline stone comes in rare and magnificent hues of electric greens and blues, which are evocative of the amazing beaches and ocean alongside Paraiba, which is part of Brazil. The unique hues of aquamarine found in this stone is like somehow putting the ocean into solid form.

Can you see what we mean? The second stone pictured above is selling at over $300,000 at Paraiba International, LTD.  While the price tag is huge, it will hold its value because of the rarity of the stone. And it will look fantastic in just about any setting that it is placed in.

Whether you want a new necklace or ring, paraiba will be the highlight of your entire ensemble and obviously the rarest thing that you will be wearing. It will most likely be the rarest piece of jewelry in your jewelry collection.
